The people posting remove pleas with APEWS case numbers in the Subject
are not doing so because they're all mad. The APEWS website in FAQ Q41
and Q47 tells them to come here and is the only avenue available to them.

Q42 What can I do to be removed from the list?
"post a message in a public forum mentioned above with the APEWS record
number (eg. S123) and/or the IP address/range information in it. Placing
the text "APEWS:" in the subject can help a APEWS editor or developer
see the message and they may double check the listing"

The sadder part is that when they do post where APEWS tells them to,
i.e: they're following the only avenue given to them, they're more often
than not met with unhelpful comments, "Move to a new ISP!" and trolls.
That part of the APEWS operation, the unwillingness to answer internet
users caught in broad listings, the exposing them to ridicule, and the
"You're listed, you're stuffed" attitude, sucks like a Harlem tranny.
